Astrology has been a part of world history for thousands of years and even now, it is still quite popular. While many find astrology to be entirely useless, others believe in it wholeheartedly. Regardless of which group you belong to, one thing is certain: even if astrology is based on myths, it is still fun to learn more about it, which can even be entertaining at times. It is important to note that astrology is more than just compatibility and birthstones and so, if you’re willing to learn more about it, here are some interesting astrological facts.
1. Former Presidents Relied on Astrology
Believe it or not, astrology has more famous and powerful followers than you might otherwise think. You probably think that people who like to read about zodiac signs are the ones who look to astrology for help but you’ll be shocked to know that presidents and world leaders are big fans of astrology too. The New Yorker claims that U.S. President Ronald Reagan was a firm believer and would often consult astrologers before making any significant decisions. He was also known to quote horoscopes and even kept a birth chart in his drawing-room.

2. The Pandemic Was Predicted By Astrologers
Something no one saw coming was actually predicted by astrologers. There was a unanimous agreement on the fact that many astrologers predicted a ‘disturbance’ in the year 2020. The India Express spoke with astrologer Pandit Jagannath Guruji who mentioned that he had predicted global unemployment and financial crisis before it actually came to pass. He even went on to say that he had predicted a lot of Indian citizens returning to India from foreign nations and even informed some of his clients they would be facing health problems, with all of these predictions coming true.
